There’s this annoying thing that baseball fans have had to get used to over the last few years. Usually it comes up on stolen base attempts, but it can be any tag play at second or third base. What happens is that a runner will narrowly beat the throw and just get to the base before the tag is applied. But then, upon a replay review, it will turn out that the runner momentarily lost contact with the base while the tag was still applied. It’s something no umpire would call because it’s only visible when you can pause a replay frame by frame, but by rule the runner is now out.
